Unlocking India’s path to self-rule through the power of the masses
Discover how organized workers and peasants can drive a revolutionary political movement, using mass strikes and civil disobedience to challenge foreign rule and transform society.
In this provocative examination, the author argues that real change comes not from reform alone but from mobilizing the toiling classes. The book outlines a strategy where local strikes build trust, connect urban workers with rural peasants, and prepare ground for larger, country-wide action. It emphasizes leadership rooted in class interests and a willingness to face defeats in the short term for a decisive, final victory."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores India's social and political transformation during the early 20th century when its people began to challenge British rule. The author examines the ideological and tactical shifts within the Indian National Congress, the leading political organization of the independence movement, as it navigated the complexities of mass mobilization, the challenges of a diverse society, and the government's repressive measures. The book sheds light on the factors that contributed to the rise and eventual decline of Gandhi's influence within the Congress and highlights the growing significance of class conflict and economic demands in shaping the movement's trajectory. It argues that the Congress's inability to adapt to these changes led to its political crisis and the emergence of alternative paths towards India's independence. This analysis provides insights into the complexities of anti-colonial struggles and the challenges of forging unity amidst diverse social and economic interests.
